..To look into the association between anthropometric, body compositional and physiological characteristics with physical activity among the children and adolescents of Asian Indian origin...

..Significant negative impact of physical activity on PBF, FMI and positive impact on FFMI in the present study were also evident. Therefore, brisk walking could be useful to increase body's fat free mass...
